Arts and Culture Although geographically small, the area is perhaps most renowned for its cultural offerings. From exclusive art exhibits to performances by jazz legends, there are abundant opportunities to enjoy arts and culture. More than 30 independent bookstores, dozens of unique galleries, and a variety of top-notch museums – including one of the finest university art museums in the country – are all within the downtown limits.

Dining Those who enjoy eating out will appreciate the nearly 300 restaurants within a 20 mile radius of the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area. Whatever cuisine and dining experience you are seeking you can find here – from townie-frequented eateries to nationally known restaurants. Many restaurants offer alfresco dining in the warmer months that creates an outdoor café feel to busy city streets.

Recreation Those looking for recreational activities have a host of options for golfing, hiking, or biking. Three metroparks, including the largest state recreation area in Michigan’s lower peninsula, are within a short drive. Planet Rock, one of the world’s largest indoor rock climbing gyms, is a visitor favorite and an ideal spot for families.

Events The award-winning Ann Arbor Art Fairs draw an annual crowd of nearly 500,000 as the streets of downtown are transformed into an outdoor art gallery. In Ypsilanti, the popular ElvisFest attracts professional tribute artists from across the country for this Graceland-sanctioned event. Fall football Saturdays in Ann Arbor are more than just events – they are experiences, as more than 100,000 people fill “The Big House” to watch the Wolverines. In the wintertime, holiday light festivals and the Ann Arbor Folk Festival are always crowd pleasers.

Planet Rock, one of the world’s largest indoor climbing gyms, is a fun test of agility and daring. There are easy routes for beginners and tougher grades for experienced climbers.

The Dexter – Ann Arbor Run’s most challenging distance is a half marathon along scenic Huron River Drive with a crowd-pleasing finish on Main Street. Runners have many opportunities to “beat feet” in long and short distance competitions throughout the area. With dozens of courses, nearly 400 holes, and over 135,000 yards of golf to play in the area, you have plenty of opportunities for birdie. It wouldn’t be summer without a dip in one of many neighborhood pools. The most active family won’t lack for recreational activities for any age child in any season.

Everything about the Gandy Dancer is exceptional – its historic stone exterior, elegant interior, and superb food. The place for a memorable dinner.

At Mac's in Saline, Cajun-style seafood dishes are the specialty. The chic, colorful atmosphere makes great dining just a little more fun. Great Italian food, wonderful wine, and a stunning two-story mural highlight this movie theater turned restaurant. Dinner at Gratzi makes any night special.

More than a deli, Zingerman’s is an experience. Sandwiches so huge you’ll order a half. Famous for its amazing array of baked goods and imported food items.

At the Earle, exceptional French and Italian cuisine meet an extraordinary wine list. Inside the setting is intimate.

Arbor Brewing Company is one of several brewing companies in Ann Arbor’s downtown and Ypsilanti’s Depot Town. Is the attraction the food, the beer, or the camaraderie? You decide.

Ann Arbor’s equivalent of a metropolitan bistro, Eve specializes in contemporary French cuisine and an extensive wine selection.

Main Street dining is anything but homogeneous. The Chop House, downtown’s most upscale steak house, sits next to an Irish pub that pours up pints of Guinness till the wee hours.
